Yurt Town

Yurt Town

Overview

Partnering with Wenenyiic Resource Development Society, the developer will be commencing a unique accommodation project in the Hudson Bay Mountain Ski area.

The general concept is to construct 20-upscale Yurt accommodations located on the North face of Hudson Bay Mountain ski area, between the Hudson Bay Mountain Village and at the Skyline Lodge.

The yurt community will be constructed adjacent to Skyline Lodge, providing ideal ski-in, ski-out access to the HBM ski area and facilities. Each unit will be self-contained offering a luxurious experience and providing the visitor with an opportunity to reconnect with nature. The Yurt design will evoke the culture and heritage of the Wet’suwet’en with cutting edge work by professional designers specialized in the various elements of the project.

In addition to providing unique and convenient mountain accommodations, this development is expected to provide a wind range of social, cultural and economic development opportunities for the Wet’suwet’en.

One of the el­e­ments con­sid­ered in the Guide­lines is the im­por­tance of find­ing an ar­chi­tect or plans that ef­fec­tively and safely deal with is­sues such as snow ac­cu­mu­la­tion and shed­ding. A lit­tle work early in the de­sign se­lec­tion process will re­duce the num­ber of is­sues you have to re­solve or live with af­ter con­struc­tion.
